RoTR with kids- rider swap?

[2019TripIdeas]

I've read a few FAQs on Rise of the Resistance but haven't seen this answered yet. My kids (ages 3 and 5) will be tall enough for RoTR but their 2 year old sibling will not. I know we'll all need to get the boarding group as soon as we enter the park, and that we need to be there right at opening in order to get one.

Once we hit our window, we won't all be able to ride at once since someone will have to stay with the youngest- but I'm assuming timing wise we'll be fine since the window is so long. Is it possible to get a Rider Switch so that the kids can re-ride with the second parent? I'm assuming not, but thought it might be worth checking.

I've been wondering this too. I was told you can use rider switch with RoTR, but never confirmed it. Love to know whether you can use it and the logistics of how it would work.

Used rider swap yesterday with RoTH. Everyone riding needs a BG. When your number is called go to the entrance and ask for rider swap, usually having your stroller with you gives it away . They will ask who will ride second, scan the bands and give those people a FastPass for it. Ours could be used anytime for the rest of the day. The kids did get to go twice. The only thing is that the second person riding will bypass some of the que with the FastPass. So if you want the “full” que experience, ride first.

Thank you so much! My 2 year old will be too short and my husband is a Star Wars geek so now I know to let him ride first.
